How much they suffer when nervous, Weak and tired. Nervous prostration is a lingering, Tasking, living death to those though wholly incomprehensible to others. The cause of this condition is impure and insufficient blood. Make the blood pure, give it vitality, 1 and it will properly feed the nerves and make them strong. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures nervousness because it arts directly Mpow the blood, making it rich and pure and endowing it with vitality and strength-giving power. No other 1 medicine has such a record of cures. I

New York's Cid Paths. There are more things in the heaven above and the earth beneath New York than are dreamed of in the average resident s philosophy. For instance, there are many streets scattered throughout the downtown district that people less than a block away never heard of. There ie Edgar street, to mention one. the shortest thoroughfare in the city. It runs from Greenwich street to Trinity place, and is about as wide as it is long. Another funny little by-way with an odd name also runs to Trinity place, and is known as Tin Pot alley. The Mecca of newsboy gamblers is Theater alley, between Ann street and Beekman. It about approximates to the famous I’ie alley, of Boston, says the New York correspondent of the Bos ton Home .Journal, and before the issue of the first edition of the evening papers is full of lads playing "craps.” One is selected from the number to watch the entrance, and at a cry from him of "cheese it, the cop,” ail disappear at the other end like pills running from the end of a bottle. Lord's court is another funny place. Although a public street belonging to the city, it goes nowhere, and can only be reached by going through some one of the tall buildings surrounding it These infinitesimal streets are famous for various peculiarities Gay street is known as Parktown, from the number of colored people there: while \\ ashington Mews is mostly inhabited by cats that make night hideous after hours when the big iron gates at the end of the streets ars closed.

CARLISLE OX SILVER. SECRETARY OPPOSES ITS FREE I COINAGE. Addreßbcs a Kentucky Audience* Vigorouesly Upholding the Financial Policy of the Administration- Archbishop Williams* Golden Jubilee. Wants a Gold Basin. The Secretary us the United States Treasury, the Hon. John G. Carlisle, opened the discussion of the silver question at Covington. Ky.. Monday night. The rush to hear the speaker was tremendous. Au attempt was made to reserve seats for ladies, but it was given up when the pressure to secure admittance was felt. Secretary Carlisle was called upon by representatives of the press, who asked his position on the Kentucky Senatorship. To all his reply was that he was not a candidate now for that or any other oflice. Mr. Carlisle plunged directly into the silver question, first giving a review of the coinage legislation to show that then* was nothing surreptitious in the demonetization act of 1873. He said the question , . * «r ■ / z ' : SECRETARY CARLISLE. whether we shall maintain at an equal purchasing power in the markets all the dollars in use or provide by law for the free and unlimited coinage of silver dollars, each containing 412% grains of standard silver, is by far the most important one that has been presented to the American people in this generation, ami it now confronts us. The substitution of a new unit and measure of value is not an ordinary experiment that can be safely tried to-day and abandoned to-morrow if found injurious. The immediate consequences would continue to be felt for years after thepolicy had been reversed. Broadly stated, the Secretary’s argument focused upon the silver advocates* theory that an expansion of the volume of currency, through free coinage, would tend to raise prices and restore the healthy tone of the nation’s industrial and productive activities. Mr. Carlisle opened his argument with a plea for frank and friendly investigation of the facts of the. case. After defining the present financial situation, he gave a rapid sketch of the country’s financial history, which, he says, has taught the lesson that "whenever the coinage laws of any country pennit the free coinage of both metals with full legal-tender qualities at a ratio of value which does not conform substantially to their intrinsic or commercial ratio in the markets of the world, both kinds of coin cannot be kept in circulation at the same time.” Mr. Carlisle followed his elaborate delineation of the impossibility of sustaining the parity of the two metals under free coinage with an argument upon which he laid much stress. In his view unlimited free coinage without international action would not increase the amount of I money circulation sufficiently to overcome | the decrease due to the withdrawing of j gold. The farmer or the laborer would j not enjoy the benefit of an increased circulation with a consequent increase in prices. He would have a kind of money . with about half the purchasing power | with which the present dollar is endowed and which, on the other hand, he would bo compelled to accept at its face value in i payment of his wages or his commodities. What Secretary Carlisle would have is a system whereby silver might be used in the currency under such restrictions as i would insure the full parity of every dollar ■with every other dollar. ARCHBISHOP WILLIAMS. His Golden Jubilee Celebrated in N« England. The Catholics of New England recently celebrated the jubilee anniversary of the ordination of Archbishop Williams to

In 18G6 he was elevated to the I episcopate to succeed Bishop Fitzpatrick. , I In 1875 Boston was raised from a dio- ' 1 c<¥»e to an archdiocese, which included all of New England, and Bishop Williams was made its spiritual head. 1 Mrs. Waite, the widow of Chief Justice Waite, says she has grave fears that the Mary Washington Society, of which she is the head, will not be able to complete the monument at Fredericksburg proposed in boner of the wife of the first President. The house is still standing in Philadelphia in which Joseph Jefferson was born, and recently an inscription was plaged over the door as follows: “In this house was born Joseph Jefferson.

French Comic Songs. One of the French papers has been : making inquiries on the subject of the profits derived from the sale of popu- : lar comic songs. It hardly pays, it' seems, to publish songs that only have a moderate sue-ess at the music halls, as up to 1,000 copies or more the sale barely pays for the cost of printing and paper. After that figure is readied, however, the profits are large. There are two sorts of copies those which have only the words and the notes of the air, and those which give besides the piano -forte accompaniment. Comparatively few of the latter are sold. "Ea revenant de la Revue,” commomly ' called the Boulanger March, brought its happy composer alone 50,000 f from the sale of copies. The author of the verses is believed to have received much more than this. Nevertheless, the business of song writing is not a very lucrative one, for successes such as that are very rare. Even the bestknown men, such as M. Delormel, M. Petit and M. Garnier, are believed to earn less than £3OO a year on an average. Unstable Constitution.
